Learn the fundamentals of silversmithing while creating a sterling silver bezel ring set with a cabochon stone of your choice. Build core fabrication skills, including ring sizing, cutting sheet metal, filing, soldering, and basic setting techniques, then complete your piece by forming and soldering a bezel and securely setting your stone into a finished ring.

Learn the fundamentals of jewelry-making as you create your own wearable designs from start to finish. You’ll practice core fabrication techniques including cutting, filing, soldering, and polishing while developing a bezel-set ring or pendant. Build toward a final project you design and complete with guided support, gaining a strong foundation in traditional metalsmithing and a pathway to continue developing your own work.

Create a custom sterling silver band ring while learning the fundamentals of jewelry fabrication. Practice essential metalsmithing techniques, including ring sizing, cutting metal, soldering, stamping, forming, and finishing. Personalize your ring with a variety of textures and decorative stamps, including optional holiday-themed designs.

Incorporate personal design touches as you learn or refine fundamental metalsmithing skills in this all-level jewelry-making workshop. Beginning makers will fabricate a textured sterling silver band ring, a sterling silver pendant with a bezel-set stone, and a set of silver bangle bracelets. Students with prior experience in metalsmithing/jewelry can further develop their skills with sterling silver while fabricating earrings and making a chain link bracelet. Multiple soldering and finishing techniques will be covered, and individual design is encouraged.
